4 <$ UP TO DR. CROMER. * * <8> f SUGGESTS DR. CROMER. Correspondent Sure He Would Make Acceptable Senator. To the Editor of The State: . As I am a subscriber to your paper L and a former South Carolinan, and ^ 1 have never lost interest in the welcome of my native State. I would beg permission to suggest the name of a gentleman whom I consider in every way capable of filling the position of "United States senator. I have reference to a man who is above reproach 5n every walk of life?social, religious * ?1~ who has 3-Jld poilUt'iti?ctiiu a uiuu, * never sought political preferment, but a man whom I think if drafted ani brought before the people would appeal to the highest ideals of the better moral element of the voters of the State. The name I propose is that of Dr. George B. Cromer of Newberry. It might be well for me to say just bere that I have not consulted Dr. Cromer or any other person in Souta Carolina on this matter and make it on my own volition, knowing full well that if Dr. Cromer should be elected South.
